Voyage de la Syrie
Voyage de la Syrie is an 1837 French travelogue of archaeological and topographic views, edited by Léon and Alexandre de Laborde and held by Heidelberg University Library. Its pages show paired lithographs of ruined temples, arches, theatres and columns, with small figures in local dress and wide hill landscapes. A designer could take from them the layered look of sepia wash tones, stone masonry textures and classical ruin silhouettes set against soft hazy horizons.
